Challenges of new low-level radioactive waste facility development
Description
The siting of new low-level radioactive waste disposal facilities is the current concern of states and compacts. Facility development is the next major effort that must be faced after a site has been selected and characterized. It involves facility design, preparation of operating procedures, licensing, and construction. New technologies, revised laws and regulations, changing management approaches, and public interests all impact and must be considered in facility development. This paper identifies and discusses the next set of challenges developers of low-level radioactive waste disposal facilities will be facing. The problems of facility development could be even more technically and politically complex than site selection
